Abstract

An antenna with a concentrated magnetic field has a main coil and at least one pair of auxiliary coils. Each of the main coil and each auxiliary coil has at least one coil conductor. Each one of the at least one coil conductor has a virtual reference plane. The at least one pair of auxiliary coils are mounted around the main coil and an included angle is formed between the virtual reference plane of each coil conductor of each auxiliary coil and that of each coil conductor of the main coil. Lines of magnetic field generated by each coil conductor of each auxiliary coil concentrate the lines of magnetic field of the main coil to orient to a corresponding virtual reference plane of the main coil, thereby solving the magnetic leakage and EMI easily occurring outside the zone of active transmission for conventional coils using electromagnetic induction.

 at least one pair of auxiliary coils, each pair of auxiliary coils mounted on two edges of the main coil opposite to each other, wherein each auxiliary coil has:
 at least one coil conductor, each one of the at least one coil conductor having at least one feed point respectively and electrically connected to the at least one feed point of the main coil; and 
 at least one virtual reference plane respectively defined on the at least one coil conductor; 
 
 wherein an included angle is formed between each one of the at least one virtual reference plane of the auxiliary coil and each one of the at least one virtual reference plane of the main coil, and lines of magnetic field generated by the at least one pair of auxiliary coils concentrate the lines of magnetic field generated by the main coil to orient to the at least one virtual reference plane of the main coil.
